She is proud to be a co-founder of the Australian Walking Artists network and in 2025 worked on the Manna Gum Stories project with Traditional Custodian Richard Collopy including the new limited edition artbook Maari the Manna Gum. She also undertook a Certificate IV in Health & Leisure and produced the joyful project Teapot Tales at Barkly Square Ballarat. 2026 sees her as ‘story researcher in residence’ at this wonderful community hub, where she is also establishing A.T Studio.
The Walking Assembly 2026
he Walking Assembly 2026 (9–13 May 2026) is a nomadic, field-based gathering in Catalonia for artists, researchers, educators, and collectives interested in walking as a form of embodied, relational, and ecological knowledge. As a continuation of the biannual "Walking Arts and Relational Geographies" conferences, in collaboration with Made of Walking and other partners, it marks a shift from conference to assembly, proposing learning without teaching—where knowledge arises through shared walking, presence, attention, and collective experience. Beginning with a public Confluence in Salt (Girona), featuring a conversation with Tim Ingold, and continuing as a four-day walking expedition based in Albanyà, the Assembly follows the Muga River as both material guide and metaphor. Water, movement, and being together in place shape an experimental pedagogy grounded in care, reciprocity, and co-creation.

• • This blog project explores the complex entanglements of a designated Local Nature Reserve – a former peat-extraction site. The methodology involves undertaking 100 walks round a 2.5-kilometre circular route, each time in dialogue with a different participant, including local community members, artists, and researchers. These 'walked dialogues' are shared on a blog, generating a textual archive of multiple experiences and perspectives. The aim is to move beyond conventional observation to create an emergent, collective narrative. This research contributes to developing site-specific, ritualistic practices for ecological storytelling and collaborative sense-making in environments shaped by industrial history and conservation.
